First -- your patch mi9sses the comment in front of pg_strong_random
which still says configure will set the USE_*_RANDOM macros.

That said, I agree with daniel that it's a bit "scary" that it's the
order of ifdefs that now decide on the whole thing, especially since
there are two sets of those (one in the init function, one in the
random one), which could potentially end up out of order if someone
makes a mistake.

I'm thinking the code might get a lot cleaner if we just make a single
set of ifdefs, even if that means repeating the function header. In
theory we could put them in different *.c files as well, but that
seems overkill given how tiny they are.

Patch is the same as your v3 in all parts except for the
pg_strong_random.c changes.

In summary, here's my suggestion for color of the bikeshed.
